Ep34 The Disturbing Case of Jeffrey Willis: Chilling True Crime Story

What’s Up Man? Podcast

In this chilling true crime episode, we delve into the disturbing case of Jeffrey Willis, a former factory worker from Michigan who terrorized the community with his heinous crimes. Spanning from 2013 to 2016, Willis embarked on a shocking spree of violence and depravity, leaving a trail of victims in his wake.

Our investigation begins with the mysterious disappearance of Jessica Heeringa, a young woman who vanished without a trace from her workplace. As the pieces of the puzzle come together, a haunting connection emerges: Willis, a frequent customer at Heeringa's place of employment, matches the description of a flirty man seen with her on the night she went missing. Surveillance cameras captured a minivan similar to Willis's speeding away from the crime scene. Inside his home, investigators stumble upon a folder labeled "vics" on his computer, containing pictures of Heeringa. As the search for her body intensifies, a chilling tip leads the police to Willis's property, where they uncover a disturbing secret.

Simultaneously, we explore the case of Rebekah Sue Bletsch, a jogger who fell victim to Willis's sinister acts. Found with three fatal gunshots to the head, Bletsch's murder remains unsolved until the discovery of a crucial piece of evidence. Shell casings near her body matched a gun found in Willis's minivan, along with a collection of disturbing photographs depicting bound and gagged women. Further examination of Willis's computer reveals another subfolder within the "vics" directory, containing images of Bletsch.

As the evidence mounts against Jeffrey Willis, he is brought to trial for these horrific crimes. The courtroom becomes a battleground as the prosecution presents damning evidence, including necrophilia and murder videos downloaded from the internet. In May 2018, after a short deliberation, the jury delivered a guilty verdict, ensuring that Willis will spend the rest of his life behind bars without the possibility of parole.

Throughout the episode, we also uncover additional charges against Willis, including the attempted kidnapping of a teenage girl who narrowly escaped his clutches, as well as the production and possession of other horrible things.

To this day, questions linger about Willis's potential involvement in the unsolved murder of a high school student whose body was found years prior. With ties to the same school and a history of disturbing behavior, Willis remains a prime suspect in this chilling cold case.

Join us as we unravel the twisted trails of Jeffrey Willis, a man whose dark desires and violent actions shocked an entire community and forever scarred the lives of his victims and their families.
